We quantitated the amounts of peptides from hen egg-white lysozyme presented by I-Ak molecules in APC lines. The large chemical gradient of presentation of the four hen egg-white lysozyme epitopes observed in cell lines expressing HLA-DM or H-2DM (referred to in this study as DM) was significantly diminished in the T2.Ak line lacking DM. Differences in levels of presentation between wild-type and DM-deficient APC were observed for all four epitopes, but differences were most evident for the highest affinity epitope. As a result of these quantitative differences in display, presentation of all four epitopes to T cells was impaired in the line lacking DM. The binding affinity of the pool of naturally processed peptides from DM-expressing lines was higher than that from the DM-deficient line. Thus, using a direct biochemical approach in APC, we demonstrate that DM influences the selection of peptides bound to MHC class II by favoring high affinity peptides.
